Nokia takes "legal action" against well-known phone leaker

Nokia took its complaints about escaped prototypes more seriously on Wednesday by launching a legal pursuit against the well-known phone blogger Eldar Murtazin. The company claims to have formally requested that Murtazin return the phones and has asked Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs to "assist" in returning the phones after the Mobile-Review founder allegedly didn't respond. Nokia insisted the move wasn't a response to a harsh preview of the N8 but instead a real prospect of the leaks being used to help corporate espionage.
